It Is A Great Day For KY Basketball

Many UK fans are looking forward to this evening's draft. I know I am. Unless the sky begins falling before then, UK will have our first number 1 draft pick and possibly a few more players going in the lottery. Can we make college history with all five going in the first round? I don't know, but I plan on watching and hoping for another history marker. I am sure Tru will have more on this today, but I thought I would provide a link of Kentucky's past NBA players and their places in the draft for our reference, courtesy of bigbluehistory.net. It seems we would have to go all the way back (looking for top 10) to 1997 with Ron Mercer at #6, to 1996 with Antoine Walker, also #6. Then a little farther (for top 5) to 1993 to find Jamal Mashburn at #4. What a great day it is for KY basketball.
